Opportunity awaits in this charming home with endless potential, tucked away on a quiet street near Wakonda Country Club, parks, and schools. This well-loved property features original hardwood floors throughout the main living area and bedrooms, offering timeless character and a solid foundation for your personal updates. The spacious dining area and kitchen provide ample cabinetry and layout prospects. A standout bonus is the oversized additional living space of approx. 490 sq ft not reflected on the county assessor's site, giving this home more room than it appears from the outside. Enjoy a serene, fully fenced backyard that's ideal for gardening, play, or entertaining. The previous owner planted several flower plots watered with rain barrels. The attached one-car garage offers convenient access, leading into a functional mudroom/drop zone. A small 3-season shop awaits the right handyperson. Laundry hookups are available on both the main level and in the unfinished lower level, which also provides generous storage space. Three bedrooms and one full bath round out the floorplan. New roof & gutters installed in 2020. Whether you're looking to renovate, invest, or create your dream home, this property is full of possibilities waiting to be seized.
